5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent summary of architectural constructs, April 8, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essential CORBA: Systems Integration Using Distributed Objects (Hardcover)
Despite some distracting professor-speak, which belies
a lack of practical or real-world experience with
programming, the book does provide an execellent
architectural view of CORBA for experienced professionals with some exposure to Object Oriented tools and techniques (anything from C++ to PowerBuilder).
Weak perhaps on commercial tools and actual implementations, the book is strong on the case for the destributed objects paradigm and component-ware
approach. I enjoyed it (but wrote furiously in the margins.
Example: author elaborates objecti-orientation using a "TV set" metopher that I found completing unenlightening.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Want to know more, October 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essential CORBA: Systems Integration Using Distributed Objects (Hardcover)
Can more people review this book? I am very interested in this book, but I can't find it in the bookstore. I read "Inside COBRA" and "CORBA Design Patterns", and I want to know whether this book offers something beyond the other books. Sorry that I have to give "3 stars" to the book even though I haven't read it -- I can't post a message without the rating.
